I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition. Because it is only an Express edition I don't have a SQL Server Agent for automation of tasks.
So I tried to do something with command line program sqlcmd
.
I try to execute this command:
use DB; EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1="print '?' DBCC DBREINDEX ('?', ' ', 80)";
If I do this in SQL Server Management Studio everything works fine. But if I try to execute this via sqlcmd
it doesn't work.
sqlcmd -S .\INSTANCE -Q "use DB; EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1="print '?' DBCC DBREINDEX ('?', ' ', 80)";" -o C:\FOLDER\LOG_DB_REINDEX.txt
I think this is because of the quotation marks. I also tried to use ` and ' but I didn't get it to work…
How can I resolve this issue?
